Memorandum of the Russian 
Congress in America 

CONVOKED BY 

''The League for tk Liberation of Carpatho-Russia/' 

DEDICATED TO 

The Government and People of the United States of America, 

The People and Provisional Government of Russia, 

The Government and People of Great Britain, 

The Government and People of France, 

The Government and People of Italy, 



"We are fighting for the liberty, the 
self-government and the undictated de- 
velopment of all peoples." 

"No people must be forced under 
sovereignity under which it does not 
v/ish to live. " 

(From President Wilson's Note to Russia.) 



The present great world war should bring 
freedom and give full liberty to all oppressed and 
subjugated races and people. 

The great Russian people in Russia have 
already thrown off the burden of the old odious 
regime and today enjoying liberty. 

Biet not all of the Russian people are free. 

There is still four million Russian people 
who languish under the burden of exotic slavery 
in the Austro- Hungarian Empire. 

These four million Russians are usually 
called "Little Russian." They from time im- 
memorial live in their own dear countries, name- 
ly: Galicia, Bukowina and Northern Hungary, 
along the slopes of the Carpathian mountains, 
through what they are generally called "Car- 



i 



pathian Russians." These old Russian countries 
are still under the servitude of the Austro- Ma- 
gyar dominion, for what they are commonly 
known as the "Enslaved Russia". 

Specially for Galicia, inhabited by Russian 
people, applies the name of "Galician Russia", 
or her historical name "Red Russia", for Buko- 
wina — the name is "Bukowinian Russia" or 
"Green Russia", while for the Northern Hun- 
gary — "Uhorskaia Russia" (Hungarian Russia). 

Since the 9th Century, the time of her ap- 
pearance in history, to the middle of 14thi 
Century, consequently during six centuries, Car- 
patho-Russia formed a unit with the remaining 
Russia, not only in national respect, as at pres- 
ent, but she was then in a political union with 
the Russian Empire and she lived with her one 
political life. 

The Inhabitants of Carpatho-Russia parti- 
cipated in the advance of Prince Oleg on Con- 
stantinople (9 — 10 Centuries) ; Vladimir the 
Great baptized the Carpatho-Russians in the 
Christian faith, while the Russo-Galician Kings: 
Yaroslav Osmomesl, Roman, Daniel and Da- 
niel's son Lev, — the founder of the City of Lvoff 
(Lemberg) — occupy a well deserved place in 
Russian history. 

A poet, in a poem of the 12th century, en- 
titled "Words about the regiment of Igor", in 
the following words depicts the importance and 
strenght at that time of the Galician principality 
and its Prince Yaroslav Osmomesl: 

"Galician Yaroslav! you sit high on your 
golden throne, you are supporting the Car- 
pathians with your iron regiments, you are clos- 
ing the gates of Danube and you are throwing 
arrows over the Danube". 

This period of history, during which Car- 
patho-Russia constituted one political unit with 
the remaining Russia, preserving with her its 
self government and its own rulers, appears to 



7 



be the only illuminated time in the existence of 
Carpatho-Russia. At that time Carpatho- 
Russia acquired the most of her political, econo- 
mical and cultured bloom, happiness and power. 

But in 1340 the Galician Russia was attack- 
ed by the Polish King Kazimir, Having not 
received the necessary aid from the remaining 
Russia, she was not able to repel the strong re- 
iterative enemy, consequently she awoke under 
the Polish yoke. 

At the present time — it will soon be 600 
years — the Galician Russia exists continually 
under the exotic yokes. 

The Polish reign, continuing for four and 
one half centuries, was an exessive burden for 
the Galician Russia. The nobility, captivated 
by enticements, and constrained violently, be- 
trayed their people, becoming Polish themselves; 
the peasants were fastened, chained to the 
ground, and existed in slavery of the Polish lords 
and nobles. They did not consider a Russian 
peasant as a human being, but as a beast. 

Cruel persecutions and executions for their 
ideas, for their nationality and religion, made 
the foreign yoke more unbearable. 

The Russian Carpathian peeple always ob- 
jected to this, so that they may break the chains 
and obtain liberty. 

The Carpathian Russians participated in 
the Cossack revolts, particularly in the national 
revolts and battles in which Bohdan Hmelniski 
was the leader for the liberation of their kindred. 

When the greater part of Little Russia was 
in the end liberated and was annexed to Russia, 
Carpathian Russia remained under the slavery 
of foreign people. She was left with the Polish 
kingdom. 

During the first division of the Polish King- 
dom, Austria in the year 1772, seized Galicia, 
four years later she seized Bukowina. At this 
time Russia did not interefere and so, in this 



manner Carpathian Russia fell from one slavery 
into another — German. 

The German government in Austria, seeing, 
that the Carpathian Russians, in their national 
and cultured respects are forming one unit with 
the Russian people in Russia, took fright and 
began to have recourse to the crafty "divide et 
impera" (divide and reign) and to violence, so 
that the Carpathian Russians might be separ- 
ated from the Russian people in Russia, and that 
in this manner it would be easier to denation- 
alize and destroy them. 

The Carpathian Russians v/ere even forbid- 
den to call themselves Russians. 

The Austrian Government gave them a new 
name — "Ruthenians". 

During the national census in Austria all 
the Russian population was by force enrolled 
in the official statistics as "Ruthenians", those 
who protested against such official trickery, 
were arrested and placed in prisons. 

The Russian population of the Carpathians 
was forbidden to learn the Russian literary lan- 
guage. The writings of such famous Russian 
poets and writers as: Pushkin, Lermontov, Go- 
gol, Turgeneff, Dostoewski, Nekrasoff, Tolstoi, 
were subjected to degradation. Russian books 
were very often confiscated by the Austrian 
commissioners and gendarmes. 

Students who were anxious to learn the Rus- 
sian literary language were banished from high 
schools. 

Even Dr. Dimitri A. Markov a Russian de- 
puty, elected by the Russian people in Galicia, 
was forbidden to speak in the Russian language 
in the Austrian Parliament, although all other 
nationalities in Austria were free to speak, while 
in this Austrian Parliament, in their own native 
languages. 

With particular cruelty Austria persecuted 
those Russian people, \?ho dedicated themselves 



wholly to the people, and to whom the people 
turned with particular attention and love. 

The Austrian and Magyar Governments had 
recourse to rude punishment. 

Many political charges of government's 
treason were from time to time lodged against 
the famous Carpathian Russians. 

The trial of priest Ivan Naumovich and his 
colleagues in the City of Lvoff in the year 1882, 
the trial of Kabaliuk and ninety four- peasants 
in Marmarosh Siget in Hungary in the year 1913, 
the trial of the Gerovski brothers in Czernowitz 
in Bukowina in the year 1913, the trial of Sand- 
owich, Hudima, Bendasiuk and Koldra in Lvoff 
in the year 1913, — are only episodes of this un- 
equal battle for freedom, which is carried on by 
the Russian people of the Carpathian Russians 
against their enslavers. 

Not only for political aspirations and na- 
tional idea.s. but also for religious convictions 
the Russian people of the Carpathians were sub- 
jected to cruel persecutions. 

Peasants in Hungarian Russia, because they 
did not desire to remain in Union with the Pope 
of Rome, were sentenced to many years in prison 
in Marmarosh Siget. In Galicia the Austriaji 
government closed their chapel and placed upon 
it a placard forbidding everyone to enter tehe 
same because of contagious disease, which was 
untrue. 

The eminent english traveler and writer, W. 
J. Birkbeck, who personally visited the Russian 
population of Austrian Galicia in 1912, in the fol- 
lowing words informed his native countrymen 
(in the London Times, for April and May, 1912) 
about the persecution of Russians of Galicia by 
the Austrian Government: 

"You will be surprised to learn that the 
tolerant (?) Austrian Constitution which pro- 
vides for complete freedom of conscience for all 
her subjects, (even the Mohamedans), is trodden 



under foot when it concerns the Russian Uniates 
of Austria. 

"Russian schools, however private, are not 
allowed; Russian books are confiscated, and 
boys found reading a Russian author are ex- 
pelled from the gymnasiums. At the elections, 
whether Parliamentary or provincial, Russian 
voters are either prevented by troops from en- 
tering the polling booths, or the result of the 
election is falsified. In matters religious, their 
state is even worse. 

"The government refused to register the 
people in the village lists as Russians. 'We were 
always Russian, and so were our fathers and 
forefathers before us,' thus spake the people." 

With reference to their economical relation 
the Carpathian Russian people were placed in a 
very critical situation. Even though Galicia, 
Bukowina and Hungarian Russia are considered 
among the richest countries of the world, they 
are noted for their natural products, such as ke- 
rosene, earth wax, salt, — coal, and iron is to be 
found in abundance and waiting for prospectors. 
Even though these Russian lands possess famous 
wells, veins, impassable forests, productive 
lands, navigable rivers, and many rapid current 
rivers for electrical energy, — all of these natur- 
al resources are denied to the primitive Russian 
population. 

The best producing lands belong to foreign 
lords, who are the supporting pillars of Austrian 
reaction. 

Valuable forests and pasture lands are in 
the hands of the government or in the hands of 
Austrian aristocrats and by no means could be- 
long to the primitive Russian population. 

As to the manufacturing industries — you 
cannot speak ot; all private and corporate un- 
dertakings of the Russian people were met with 
hostile respect and considered contrary to the 
Austrian Government. 




With the aid of the administrative and de- 
tective craftiness and trickery, and with the aid 
of evident injustice and violence, the Austro- 
Magyar Government and their bureaucrats and 
adherents, kept the Carpathian Russia not only 
in political slavery, but also in complete beggary, 
and in a burdened economical slavery. 

The primitive Russian population of the 
Carpathians is living hungry the year around. 

It began to evacuate its dear country in mas- 
ses and settled across the ocean, so that in far 
America they could find bread and freedom, 
which was taken away from them by the Austro- 
German, Magyars and their adherents. 

When the condition of the Russian people 
of the enslaved Carpathian Russia was un- 
bearable during peace time, it must have become 
dreadful at the beginning of the war and in such 
a condition as has never been known to existi 
in the world's history. 

Soon as Austria-Hungary declared war on 
Russia, more than 30,000 Russian people (Au- 
strian subjects) in Galicia, Bukowina and Hun- 
garian Russia were arrested, massacred by the 
Austrian police and soldiers, subjected to un- 
describable torture and confined in war prisons 
and forts at some of the following places: Tha- 
lerhof, Teresienstadt, Kufstein, Spielberg, A- 
rad, Vienna, Linz, etc. 

In Thalerhof only, in the course of a few 
weeks more than 1500 people died from beating, 
sickness and hunger. 

Those who survived, (they being of a strong- 
er physical constitution) were placed on trial 
and even though they all could prove themselves 
innocent according to the laws of man and God, 
were found guilty by the Austrian Courts, be- 
cause of the fact that they (Carpathian Rus- 
sians) did not want and could not, because of 
their conscience, disavow their Russian nation- 
ality. All of them were sentenced to death. 



The Reverend Maksim Sandowich^ as above 
stated, was shot, and many other famous Car- 
pathian Russians were (and are at the present 
time) sentenced to be hanged on the gallows, 
among whom are Dr. Dimitri Markov and Vla- 
dimir Kurylovich, deputy members of the Au- 
strian parliament; Reverend Kopnili Senik, mem- 
ber of G-alician Diet; Bohatyrec, Nicholas Win- 
nicki, Roman Prislopski, John Maschak, Marcel 
Eastavetzki,and John Stanchak, Russian priests; 
Simeon Bulik, Alexander Hasai, Alexander Sa- 
viuk, John Oherliunchakevich and Kiril Cher- 
liunchakevich, barristers; Dimitri Vislotzki and 
Ilarion Tzurkanovich, students; Nicholas Hro- 
mosiakjlvan Diakov and Luke Staritski, laymen; 
Mulkevich a locksmith, and others who were in- 
terned since the very first beginning of the war. 

The remaining Carpatho-Eussian popu- 
lation of Galicia were bantered by the 
Austro- Germans and Magyars in such an un- 
manly manner and used upon them such violence 
and brutality, which did not differ from the 
brutal treatment of the Armenians by the Turks. 

Russian girls and women v/ere rudely 
shamed and later torn away from their families 
and sent to the public houses of Budapest and 
other parts of Hungary, old feeble men and 
small children served as marks for aim of the 
German and Magyar soldiers as a sport; homes 
were burned together with their inhabitants and 
the villages ruined. 

During the first nine months of the war the 
Germans and Magyars shot and hanged 20,000 
people in Galicia, Bukowina and Hungarian 
Russia. It is impossible to compute how many 
Russian people they hanged during their ad- 
vance in the year 1915, and in particular during 
the years of 1915, 1916 and 1917. 

We, Carpatho- Russians, know that while 
under the Austro-Magyar yoke, our people ex- 
pect a general destruction. 



Our existence, as a nation, will be guaran- 
teed only then, when we shall be wholly liberated 
from the Germans, Magyars and the Poles. 

Our country, Carpatho-Russia will be free 
only then, when she as a whole, within her ethno- 
graphic boundaries will be liberated from the 
Germans and Magyars, and will be placed under 
the protection of Russia, and wholly reunited 
with her. 

For this reason it is natural and evident, 
that we Carpatho-Russians hopefully call upon 
everyone, who might bring our kindred liberty 
from the German-Magyar yoke and a reunion 
with Russia. 

Our irresistible aspiration for freedom from 
the Austro-Magyar slavery and for the reunion 
with the great brotherly Russia can only be ap- 
preciated by those people, for instance us, who 
almost 600 years have carried on its shoulders 
the foreign yokes. 

At the beginning of the war for the first 
time we heard from the victorious armies in 
Russia the following words : ' ' There shall not be 
an enslaved Russia in the future. The inherit- 
ance of Vladimir the Great, the country of Yaro- 
slav Osmomesl, of Prince Daniel and of Prince 
Roman, should throw off her yoke and float the 
flag of the one great inseparable Russia." 

President Woodrow Wilson of the United 
States of America in his note of June 1, 1917, to 
Russia, solemnly stated that "No people must be 
forced under sovereignity under which it does 
not wish to live." 

We, immigrants from Carpatho-Russia, liv- 
ing in free America, cry out at this moment to 
save our kindred. This we do because those 
brothers of ours who remained alive in their dear 
countries: Galicia, Bukowina and Hungarian 
Russia, governed by the tyrant Austro-Hunga- 
rian government; others, who are confined in 
overcrowded camps, prisons and forts, while still 



others who are at home but also threatened with 
prison, are crying for liberty but their cry is 
choked in their breasts, and their mouths are 
closed by the Austro-Magyar police, court mar- 
tials and hangmen. 

To speak more loudly in defense of our Car- 
patho- Russian brothers we organized a League 
for the Liberation of Carpatho-Russia." This 
League, representing all the Carpatho-Russian 
organizations and all the Carpatho-Russian pe- 
riodicals in the United States of America, wor- 
ried about the destiny of our dear country, con- 
voked a Russian Congress on the 13th day of 
July, 1917, in the City of New York. 

This Russian congress, as the highest agent 
for expressing the ideas, fancy and desire of all 
expressed the following: 

"All of the Carpatho-Russian people with 
all the might of their hearts and souls protest a- 
gainst the intention of leaving them and their 
countries for the future in the Austro- German 
or Polish slavery. 

All of the Carpatho-Russian people in a re- 
solute manner protest against any form of con- 
nection with the Austro-German or future Po- 
lish governments or even to have the protection 
of these governments. 

On the contrary the Russian Congress spea- 
king for the whole Russian People in America, 
solemnly and unanimously express, that the 
whole Carpatho-Russian people desire an abso- 
lute liberation of Carpatho-Russia from the exo- 
tic rulers, and reunification within her ethno- 
graphic boundaries with her older sister, the 
great democratic Russia". 

The Carpatho-Russian desire to be in an 
intimate union with the rest of the Russian peo- 
' pie, to live with them a one united life and share 
with them the good and the bad. 

The present alarming time, when all the ra- 
ces and people of Russia are endeavoring to sepa- 



rate themselves from her completely, there is 
one European country that desires to be with 
Russia, and that country is Carpatho-Russia. 

"Just as the swift river, tearing away stones 
that it may empty into the ocean, there is no 
power which could check the Russian people in 
their battle for a reunification with Russia." 

The Carpatho-Russians do not press any- 
one, and they do not wish oppression for any- 
one, on the contrary, they wish for all the people 
political liberty, cultured and economical deci- 
sion for the best in the future. 

Every nation should receive the means to 
exist in its own natal country, agreeable to its 
own wish. 

The Carpatho-Russians are claiming same 
thing for themselves. They have to be assisted 
in attaining this by every people which loves 
truthfulness and liberty. 

This is why we, besides the call to the free 
Russian people of Russia, are turning also to the 
United States of North America and to Great 
Britain for assistance. 

We know that these countries entered the 
present war against Germany and her allies sole- 
ly for defense of democracy and free existence 
and self-destination for all nations. 

We turn also to France, which inscribed on 
its banner: "Liberte, Egalite, Fraternite". 

Turning to Italy, which rised to battle for 
the liberation of its children, also enslaved by 
Austro-Hungary. Trentino and other unliberated 
Italian lands are anxious to throw off the Au- 
strian yoke and enter into a junction with Italy. 

Alsace-Lorraine are streaming to a junction 
with France. 

All civilized world recognized their rights 
for liberation from foreign dominion and for a 
junction with their native lands. 

Carpatho-Russia, which ethnographically, 
historically and geographically composes a part 



of Russia, is fighting with all its might for the 
junction with its natural fatherland-Eussia. 

We Carpatho-Russiaftn immigrants, regard 
it a great honor and we are proud that we are 
citizens of the free land of Washington. 

For our new fatherland, which pittied us 
and which without our merits rewarded us with 
liberty and bread, and which opened to us an 
access to the wealth, glory and happiness. All 
these were refused to us in our native country by 
the Austro-Hungarian government. 

We are always ready to pour our blood and 
give our lives for our new fatherland. 

But we cannot forget about our fathers and 
mothers, our brothers and sisters, our children 
and relatives and all endeared to us Carpatho- 
Russian people and all Carpatho-Russia, which 
are perishing in the Austro-Hungarian yoke. 

We appeal to the sense of righteousness 
and conscience of all civilized world, and first of 
all to Russia, United States, England, France 
and Italy. 

We offer for their judgement all our injusti- 
ces, torments, which the Carpatho-Russian peo- 
ple endure and ask for assistance a sustainance 
of our equitable deed and to attain the liberation 
of Carpatho-Russia from foreign yoke and to 
bring her to union with Russia. 

Let there not be any longer two Russias: 
free Russia and Russia under the foreign yoke, 
but there be one free Russia.
